About the product

The information presented in this publication has the potential to form the foundation of a comprehensive store of tailings dam performance data. Covering the years 1980-1996, it reviews the occurrence of reported failures and other similar incidents involving mine tailings dams in major mining regions. This is a unique publication since there is currently no centralised source for information about tailings dam incidents.
